User’s Manual

The CLRCO2075 can be installed using a gravity drain or can use a
factory installed or equivalent drain pump.

Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to prevent water from
flowing back into the ice maker storage bin and/or potentially flowing
onto the floor causing water damage:

Gravity Drain

• Drain lines must have a 5/8 inch inside diameter.

• Drain lines must have a 1 inch drop per 48 inches of run (1/4 inch
per foot) and must not create traps.

• The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate drainage
from all drains.

• Insulate the bin drain line to prevent condensation.

CLRCO2075 With Factory Installed Drain Pump

NOTE

Before installing your U-Line CLRCO2075 With Factory
Installed Pump, it is extremely important to check and test
all hose connections at the drain pump. There is a
possibility that hose connections may have loosened during
shipment.

User’s Manual

CAUTION

CONNECTING A DRAIN PUMP

If a gravity drain connection is not available, and you have not
purchased the CLRCO2075 with factory installed pump, we strong­ly recommend the use of the U-Line P60 drain pump. The U-Line

P60 drain pump is available through your Dealer, or direct from U-Line
with complete installation instructions. If a pump other than the U-Line
P60 drain pump is to be used, it must meet the following specifica­tions:

• It must be UL listed and have a UL listed, 120 VAC, 3-wire
grounded power cord.

• It must have overall maximum outside dimensions of 8-3/4" wide x
5-3/4" deep x 7-3/4" high.

• It must have a minimum flow rate of 15 gallons per hour at 10 feet
of lift.

• It must have a sealed sump which does not allow water leakage in
the case of a power outage, restricted drain or pump failure.

• It must have a check valve in the discharge line to prevent waste
water return to the pump.

• It must have an overflow protection control which will shut off power
to the ice maker in the event of a pump failure.

• It must have an operating temperature range of 50°F to 110°F
(10°C to 40°C).

In the event of a power outage, restricted drain or pump
failure, the failure to use the U-Line P60 drain pump or a
pump with the above listed specifications, could result in
substantial water leakage and pooling with severe and
costly water damage and related consequential damages
and harm.

SITE PREPARATION

DANGER

! !

1. Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the

entire weight of the unit. Remember that the unit will be signifi­cantly heavier once it is fully loaded.

It is extremely important that the unit is level. If it is not
level, the water will not flow over the ice mold evenly. This
can cause a reduction in ice rate, uneven sized cubes or
water spilling into the storage area which will cause the ice
in the bin to melt prematurely. Remember that floors near
drains have a tendency to slope towards the drain.

2. The surrounding air temperature must be at least 50°F (10°C) but

must not exceed 110°F (40°C).

3. The unit must not be located near heat-generating equipment or in

direct sunlight.

4. The unit must be located to allow clearance for water, drain and

electrical connections in the rear of the ice maker.

5. Connect the unit to a grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60 Hz,

15A circuit (normal household current).

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD!
Electrical Grounding Required. This appliance

is equipped with a three prong (grounding)
polarized plug for your protection against
possible shock hazards.

• NEVER remove the round grounding prong from the plug.

•NEVER use a two-prong grounding adapter.

•NEVER use an extension cord to connect power to the
unit.

Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered or a
longer power cord is required, contact a qualified electrician
to have it replaced in accordance with applicable electrical
codes.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY

When connecting the water supply, follow these guidelines:

• Review the local plumbing codes before you install the unit.

• In most instances, the cold water supply will come from the

basement through a hole in the floor.

• The water pressure should be between 20 minimum and 120

maximum psi.

• Install a shut-off valve in the 1/4 inch supply line.

• Connect sufficient tubing to the unit to allow the unit to be

moved for cleaning and servicing. However, make certain that
the tubing is not pinched or damaged during installation.

• U-Line recommends the use of copper tubing for installation.

1. Locate the compression
fitting and ferrule packed in
the unit. Slide the compres­sion fitting and ferrule over
the 1/4 inch water supply
line. Do not use thread
sealing compound or tape.
Using two wrenches, tighten
the compression fitting on
the supply line (Figure 6).

LEVELING THE UNIT

It is extremely important that the unit is level. If it is not
level, the water will not flow over the ice mold evenly. This
can cause a reduction in ice rate, uneven sized cubes or
water spilling into the storage area which will cause the ice
in the bin to melt prematurely. Remember that floors near
drains have a tendency to slope towards the drain.

1. Use a level to check the levelness of the ice maker from front to
back and from side to side for free-standing installation (Figure 9).

Use a level to check the levelness of the icemaker from front to
back and from side to side by placing a level on the inside edge and
along the door seal edge for built-in installation (Figure 10).

1. Plug the appliance cord into a 115V polarized and grounded elec­trical outlet.

2. Make sure the overflow tube (refer to Figures 37 and 38 in
Maintenance) is seated properly. There is a possibility it may have
loosened during shipment.

3. Make sure the draining system is working properly and the drain
hose is not pinched or kinked. Pour one gallon of cool, fresh water
into the ice bin. The water should drain freely. If your CLRCO2075
is equipped with a drain pump, the pump should drain the ice bin.

4. Open the water supply valve in the main water source.

5. Be sure that the cycle selector switch is in the ON position. The
water fill valve will energize and fill the water reservoir. The water fill
valve shuts off after 180 seconds. The compressor begins to oper­ate and water flows over the evaporator assembly (ice cube tray).

6. Upon initial start-up, water flow over the evaporator may be
uneven. This may cause uneven sized cubes or water spilling into
the ice storage bin. This is a normal situation and will correct itself
within the first twenty-four hours of operation. After the initial start­up period, the water will cascade evenly over the evaporator.

22

After the first slab of ice is produced, ice production will stop until the
refrigerator side of the CLRCO2075 reaches the set point tempera­ture. After the refrigerator reaches temperature, ice production will
begin again.

It is possible that dirt or scale will dislodge in the water line.
Always throw away all ice cubes made during the first two
to three hours of operation.

CLEAR ICE MAKER OPERATION

The ice maker side is designed to make clear ice from most water
sources on a consistent basis. Water is constantly circulated over the
evaporator assembly. As the water freezes, gravity causes any
sediment to drop into the water trough and not become imbedded in
the ice. This gives a clearer ice cube with a low mineral content.

When the ice reaches the desired thickness, it falls off the evaporator
and into the storage bin. The cycle is then repeated until the ice bin is
full and then stops automatically. As the ice level in the bin drops the
unit will automatically restart to keep the bin full.

Your unit’s ice production rate may vary depending on many considera­tions. Ambient air temperatures, water temperatures, a high level of
opening and closing, loading the refrigerator with warm items, condenser
cleanliness and ice-maker cleanliness are all contributing factors to how
quickly the unit produces ice. The refrigerator portion of the CLRCO2075
will take precedence over producing ice to protect any perishables.

Certain sounds are normal during the unit’s operation. You may hear
the compressor or fan motor, the water valve, the water circulation
pump or ice dropping into the ice storage bin.

ICE CUBE THICKNESS

Your U-Line Clear Ice Maker uses advanced technology to make ice that
is crystal clear. This technology cascades a flow of water over a chilled
ice mold that is mounted vertically so no water sits in it. Because of
this ice making technology, clear ice cubes differ significantly from reg­ular ice cubes. Differences are as follows:

• Dimples. U-Line clear ice cubes
have “dimples” on one side from
the cascading water process.

• Cube Variations. Cubes made
from different batches, or even

DIMPLES

cubes within the same batch may
have varying dimples, thicknesses
and/or sizes due to the cascading
water process.

• Cube “slabbing”. The U-Line clear
ice maker makes a “slab” of ice

ICE BRIDGE

that falls from the vertical mold
relying on gravity to break the ice
bridges. Depending on the control

Figure 29

setting, and the fullness of the ice bucket, it maybe necessary to tap
the ice slab with the ice scoop to break it apart.

ICE001

User’s Manual

The ice cube thickness control is factory set for best overall perfor­mance. The factory setting is designed to maintain an ice bridge of
approximately 1/16" to 1/8" under normal conditions resulting in a
dimple of approximately 1/4" to 1/2" in depth (Figure 30). A fuller
cube with less of a dimple results in a thicker ice bridge. As the ice
bridge becomes thicker, the tendency for the cubes to stay together as
a slab increases. A bridge thicker than 1/8" may cause cubes to over­fill the ice bucket.
